AI Recruiting Agents for Sourcing and Screening
Recruiting teams and staffing firms use Kylon to source candidates, coordinate recruiting email and keep a hiring system the whole team shares. An AI startup built a recruiting database where agents parse resumes, score candidates against open roles and manage outreach. Recruiting firms run intake, screening, submittals, interview scheduling and client updates in one room, with a recruiter approving everything a client or candidate sees.

Questions teams ask
- Can AI agents screen resumes against open roles?
- Yes. Agents parse each resume, score the candidate against the open role and record the result in a structured database the team shares, so recruiters review a ranked shortlist with the reasoning visible. An AI startup used this setup to run sourcing and outreach from one room.
- How can a recruiting firm use AI agents?
- Agents handle the admin between the job order and the placement: taking in job orders, screening candidates, preparing submittals, scheduling interviews and drafting client updates from email and documents. Recruiters spend their time with candidates and clients and approve everything a client or candidate sees.
- Do the agents email candidates on their own?
- No. Agents draft outreach, interview invitations and client updates, and a recruiter approves everything a client or candidate sees before it is sent. Every message, score and status stays in the shared room, so the team can see the full history of each search.
- Where should a recruiting team start?
- Start with the candidate database. Put open roles and candidates in a Kylon App, let agents parse incoming resumes and score them against each role, and review the scores on a few searches. Once the scoring matches your judgment, add outreach and interview scheduling.
